[QUOTE="MADisher, post: 134769, member: 18252"] I agree, you'd probably be better off picking up a used KLR 650 or even a 250. I have a pal with a Honda NX 250 (Hondas verson of a KLR250) and it does quite nicely. He picked it up for a grand and might be selling it soon to move to a real street bike. He thought he'd buy it, ride it to work on nice days and play in the woods on the weekends. This really isn't too feasable for a number of the reasona listed above unless you're simply riding wide open trails like old fire roads. The things that make it road worthy (it's weight, fenders, tires, signals) make it a poor trail bike (geared wrong, heavy, street fenders, etc.) Thinking back to my TS-185, the mirrors sure didn't last long in the woods, nor did the turnsignals. Then when you gear it down a tooth or two for the woods it wasn't worth beans on the road. Add a nobbie (back then the dual sport tires were pretty bad) and it was scarry on the road. I think I'd put the bucks in a used KLR or Honda NX 250 There is an 88 NX 250 for $1800 on cycle trader. Perhaps you could grab that for $1500 :) save a lot of work, and still have a great trail bike to boot. -MD [/QUOTE]
